Hello Brian,
I am glad to hear that you would like to review the programmer's manual.
You can find a copy attached to this email and I have also added the
manual to CVS in the AccessGrid/doc directory. It is a draft/alpha
document so please let me know if you are having any questions or
suggestions.
Thanks,
Susanne
